• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened
I have tried to set up a game that is restricted to people in the group I'm a part of only. I can see it's a closed game, and when I post the link people from my group start to join.
But sometimes people in my group can be a little slow to join. Both times that I have done this, some people in my group after a couple of days my game disappears and I find myself in a game with other random people who aren't in my group. I'm not sure if it's the same table or if I've been suddenly placed into a different table but I believe I'm getting placed in a different table with similar settings, the reason being that my name isn't first in the list when I look at my Games In Progress and the table ID is different - see additional information below for more details.
I don't think I'm supposed to be being placed in games with strangers against my will when I had set up a locked-to-group game which some of my friends had already joined.

Report history
When I load the second link there it says the game was abandoned before it started, but none of us abandoned the game. So there seems to be a problem that the game is getting abandoned when we didn't abandon it, and that I'm being put into a game outside of my group members instead.
This has happened once previously before.
This might or might not be relevant, but I think both times this happened, it was about the same time as a different game in the same group started - so I don't know if wires are getting crossed somewhere and something is becoming confused when group games begin.
